Oh, that's right. I haven't been dealing with sprites much. Still going through graphics and Trigs, but sprites does have variables attached to them. That's not subroutine local variables, though. It's not like they're stack-based. Closer to "Structures" than local variables.

i know i tried to tell my friends to stick with a even more easy task, like atari game before trying anything like that, but they said it was either this or super mario world. i don't know that much about programming none with smile basic, but i help out where ican, especially when it comes to mml tracks and sprites/BG pics. i will tell you when they finally get going on the project because now they want to make some weird fps. sigh, what can you do. anyway, if i could figure out the basic elements of how to load and save sprites mml tracks, background images and maps, i could be a lot greater help unil i finsh reading all these tutorials for smile basic, i you want, you could work on the making a fully functional world 1-1, just to prove it would work, and i will post as many things as possible that you will need on here, in terms of sprites and backgrounds. bbut still this is your choice. if you want to continue on something lse instead of this, that's fine. but remember that I will be waiting when your done your dungeon project. btw can't load the files all i can do is read the text, then it says it can't load the files. still sound interesting just from the text.

To have your character from going offscreen you need to keep it's X between 0 and 256 and it's Y between 0 and 192. Use ifs to check its X & Y before it starts moving.
I don't really know of a way to make icy movement, sorry.
To have your game do something when you tap the screen you need to check the TCHTIME variable, if it is = to 1, then the player tapped the screen.

About the loading the game, I already stated a page or two back that you need to press start when it says it can't load the Tragen thingy.

I just got this game. :-/ I do use eclispe programming for apps, but this is hard to understand. Does anyone know of a place I can learn how to use Petit Computer?

Why are you saying this so boldly?
Anyway, Gamefaqs has a lot of good tutorials, the community here is extremely helpful and you can learn a lot just reading the conversations we have, and the in-game help menu should do you well.
It has a steep learning curve, but it's well worth it.

Edit: Unrelated, but, it'd be cool to see a binary translator or something on Petit Computer.
Just saying.

does anyone know if it is possible to create an emulator program on petit computer, say for N64, or is that only possible on more advanced languages like C+

A NES or SNES emulator might work, but I doubt a N64 emulator would.

Since you can't add external files to Petit Computer, creating an emulator of any kind is impossible. And it would be against the law anyways.
You can, however, try and replicate any kind of 2D (or basic pseudo-3D) game if you want. It's not like you can sell them anyway, so nothing stops you from doing and sharing these.

You can write a converter. Convert it to DATA statements. Build QR Codes out of it. Then scan and APPEND to the emulator code. I doubt it will run fast enough, though.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I didn't mean you could make a virtual NES/SNES. I meant you could recreate NES/SNES games.

Version 0.2 of Dungeon Adventure will be released tomorrow! If you want hints as to what will be in the final game, you'll just have to look into the programming. I think there will be some interesting hints.

Now that I have conquered the use of clicking buttons and having stuff happen, I now need to learn how to have a CHR move around the screen. How do I make a sprite move across the screen with the control pad?

sorry i meant to emulate the GAMES not make an emulator. Anyway i was wondering if it would be possible to make a version of N64/SNES games on petit computer. the general idea i am getting from here is no for N64 and yes for SNES, so if i ever learn enough to make an SNES game, i will try to make a recreation of the SNES super mario world.

That SHOULD be possible. I know someone is nearing completion of a Mega Man 2 port, so a SNES game could be possible.
